We do wonderful things with just a small budget, but our emphasis is on reading so we get books at a local second-hand store and from library discards. They&#39;re in good condition and our little library is growing! We have asked parents and volunteers to translate our books, but finding bilingual picture books has proved a difficult task. I am so glad to have found this great online resource for advice on which books we should look for. Please keep this up! We need you!Gerri Feganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04856462061173881224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898220076341373833.post-54416115948471554872018-03-09T23:22:14.831-05:002018-03-09T23:22:14.831-05:00I was delighted to read your comments and wish you...I was delighted to read your comments and wish you all success with your efforts on behalf of your students and your children. All children deserve to have their family language preserved and developed in order to be able to communicate with extended family, to get to truly know their culture... and all children deserve the gift of languages, a second, a third... languages will open many doors to a wider world and contribute to develop appreciation for all human beings. May you enjoy the process and remain faithful to it, even when at times it may be hard or frustrating. It was not easy for me to help my four children become bilingual, but now, having two languages has been one of the greatest assets in their lives, both personally and professionally.

My first language is Spanish, but with years, and while trying to learn &amp; strnghten my English; I stopped speaking Spanish in my facility and with my 3 daughters.

Now I have become passionate about teaching my students more Spanish and converting my in-home center into a Dual-Language Program as well. These books will be an excellent resource for our program.
